Tough hunt in the river

[oldmxrat]

Only 61 degrees for a high and overcast, but I really wanted to do a water hunt. I spent about 4 hours in the chilly water and only came away with $2.01 in clad, a bunch of fishing gear, a pair of Bolle polarized sunglasses, a dog license tag and a few random pieces of junk.

The dog tag is kinda cool. It's made of brass but has no date. Pretty sure it's from the 50's or earlier.

Well, not a big success but it was nice getting out there in the mountains nonetheless.

The thrill of the hunt is sometimes the best part of it! Love the dog tag!

The sunglasses are worth quite a bit if you can resell them.

I agree the thrill of the hunt is very exciting
Congratulations on your recoveries and try to get in the water again
Good luck

Some times just getting out on a hunt and making some finds is still time well spent.
Old Dog Tax Tags are some of my favorite finds - that's a real nice one - strange there's no date on it ?

You get points for getting out there in that cold water. I've always thought that we have to be a little on the masochistic end of the spectrum to be involved in this great hobby.
